PM Carney Suspends Federal Fuel Tax to Combat Rising Gas Prices Amid Iran War
In a bold move to shield Canadians from the geopolitical fallout of the Iran War, Prime Minister Mark Carney has officially suspended the federal fuel tax. Starting April 20, 2026, drivers will see an immediate 10-cent-per-litre reduction at the pump. While opposition leaders call for deeper cuts, the Carney government is betting on this $2.4 billion relief measure to stabilize the economy through the summer.
